Arden Fair is a two-level regional shopping mall located on Arden Way in Sacramento, California, in the United States. It encompasses 1,112,000 square feet (103,300 m2) of retail space occupied by over 150 tenants. The mall is anchored by Macy's and JCPenney; its former anchor tenants Sears and Nordstrom closed during the early 2020s, and their spaces have been repurposed for new stores, including Restoration Hardware and Dick’s House of Sport.
Arden Fair was developed as an open-air complex by the firm Kassis Investment, with Sears opening in 1957 as the mall's first store. After its conversion into a single-story indoor mall, a second level was added during a major renovation conducted by the Homart Development Company in 1990. The property was purchased by the Sacramento-based Friedman family, who currently owns the mall under Fulcrum Property. Adjacent to the mall is the Market Square at Arden Fair, a shopping center renovated by the Friedmans from the former Food Circus property.
Arden Fair is credited with introducing major national retailers to the Sacramento area, including the first Nordstrom, Barnes & Noble, and Virgin Megastores in the region. By 2000, the mall was the largest single source of sales tax revenue for the City of Sacramento.
